Music of Love Romantic Thumries

Thumri is a song of love, successful or futile. Love has many shades, it goes through acquaintance, attraction, affection, infatuation and passion. Thumries express Shringar Rasa. The presence of the object of love leads to Samyog Shringar. Sometimes even the absence of the object of love may be intoxicating and would create Vipralambha Shringar. Thumri embraces all these feelings. Thumries are romantic because they make one forget the hardships of life. There are two patterns of singing Thumri. One is Poorab Anga which gave Thumri a royal patronage in Lucknow and a popular patronage in Banaras, the other is Punjab Anga that gave bold expression to the human feelings.
